CytoGuard® Stat natural shelf-life extender products are label friendly natural flavors that can naturally increase shelf-life and improve safety of many food products. Considered a “natural flavor,” CytoGuard Stat natural shelf-life extenders are based on a proprietary blend of lignin fractions which are high in organic acids and other naturally occurring compounds. The products are based on the same basic technology as smoking foods, which mankind has been using as a method to preserve foods for hundreds if not thousands of years.

These natural preservatives can be used in a variety of ways. When combined with CytoGuard LA, CytoGuard Stat products are a cost-effective, clean label way to extend product shelf life by providing natural preservation and extending the efficacy of the Lauric Arginate — all with a clean label for natural and label conscious manufacturers.

CytoGuard Stat prevents spoilage in products over their shelf-life by inhibiting microbial growth through natural preservation. It can be used in a wide range of food products such as meat, poultry, seafood, dairy and non-dairy items – dips/dressings, refrigerated salads – as well as vegetable-based food products.

Because CytoGuard Stat natural shelf-life extenders are an extremely versatile product range, they can be incorporated into many different products. They can take the place of water in a formulation or they can be used as a surface treatment. The most typical use level is 1-2 percent of the finished product. CytoGuard Stat stands out in is its ability to perform against lactics and other spoilage organisms without being affected by PH or other processing conditions.
